All of the location shooting still took place in New England - specifically the Massachusetts towns of Orange and Devens, according to the Greenfield Recorder - lending the series the same distinctive atmosphere, history, and architecture of Castle Rock without needing to worry about demonic shop owners or rabid St. So if Castle Rock doesn't actually exist, then where is its eponymous series filmed? In fact, while the town itself is fake, the onscreen locations the characters inhabit are very much real… but you won't find them in Maine.Ĭastle Rock may not have actually filmed in King's home state, but it didn't stray far. That goes for Castle Rock as well: though it's been the setting for several King stories ( The Dead Zone, Cujo, The Dark Half, Needful Things), it is entirely a figment of the author's imagination. But unless you've ever actually driven through Maine yourself, you may not realize that all of these towns are fictional, existing in some horrifying alternate reality of the state where clowns lurk in sewers and massive creatures crawl out of the mist. The Castle Rock opening credits sequence features plenty of Easter eggs for eagle-eye viewers - including a map of the Pine Tree State that highlights towns that fans will recognize from King's oeuvre, including Derry ( IT), Chester's Mill ( Under The Dome), Haven ( Tommyknockers), Little Tall Island ( Storm Of The Century), and more. Indeed, Hulu's new King-inspired series is no exception. Stephen King fans know that the master of horror sets the vast majority of his scary stories within the borders of Maine, his own home state.
